in austin texas my name is will defree to my left david
ruff welcome to the tortured podcasters department y'all that's what i call it
new shit dropping soon thanks i'm not joking today not sure i understand the reference but
sure people out there get it dude be more offline more offline. Dude, what are you doing? How offline are you, my guy?
I was quite offline over the weekend.
You were in the cave, weren't you?
What'd I miss?
I know how much you're on Twitter.
There's no way that you've just glossed over the fact
that in the middle of the Grammys last night,
Taylor Swift announced a new album coming out.
There's no way that you just somehow missed this.
I absolutely missed it, yeah.
What were you doing last night?
I'm not a huge Taylor guy like y'all yeah but like the internet is collectively
big taylor conversers it was the biggest story last night
there's something bigger than tucker in russia to interview putin there's so much taylor content
right now that i i choose not to absorb it i just kind of she's tortured i kind of just gloss over you're
not understanding how tortured she is you're right i don't even know what you're talking about so yeah
that's true wow well i can't wait to hear your weekend and fun if you were if you were so offline
you missed taylor swift's album i'll tell you about it blair you'll see well you're gonna have
to wait till that segment you understand that i plan i plan to wait just a few more minutes until i get to that
segment are you chomping at the bit no if you announce a record coming out in april and you're
taylor swift and it's february 4th like you still have time to record like a majority of that album
if you need to i love that move to set that deadline like she she could she could record
like a whole new album between now and when that album drops.
To be clear, she's on tour still.
It's called Tortured? It's called Girlboss.
Tortured Poet Department.
Have you seen the allegations
regarding the title? Not allegations.
I've seen that you did some
snooping. I saw you actually may have
cracked the code. Yeah, I don't know.
Jason Kelsey is in the box
drinking Bud Light.
Like, that's just what he does.
I think that was Travis.
And when she's putting out secret messages about Vortex bottles,
it just makes you wonder, like, where the money is getting siphoned to.
I just don't understand why Miller High Life hasn't brought back the Vortex bottle.
I've been really riding this train for about six days now.
You say Miller High Life?
No, just Miller Lite.
Miller Lite.
Yeah.
That'd be dope.
Just Miller Brewing Company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Yeah.
The European mind could not comprehend a Vortex Miller High Life.
Imagine.
Mm-mm.
Mm-mm.
It just comes out so fast.
It comes out in a literal vortex.
All of me trinkets fell out of me pockets.
He just comes out so fast.
All of me trinkets fell out of me pockets.
Why are these companies hiring these talking head celebrities when they could just put a vortex in the neck of their long neck?
Just do that, and then we'll buy your product.
I don't care if Shane Gillis is in charge of Bud Light now.
Just put a vortex in the neck of that thing.
Shoot it down my throat.
Shoot it down his throat.
I'm talking about drinking beer.
It's frat.
You wouldn't understand.
What if you went to rob a bank?
And of course, like, when you rob a bank,
you have to go back, oh, I don't know,
seven or eight decades.
And instead of, like, a pistol,
like, under your jacket,
you got a Vortex bottle.
And I'm like, ah, stick him up.
I'm like, oh like oh god he's got
a vortex i've been saying that that'd be that'd be wild i've been saying that dude you think that
would be an effective mechanism to acquire the loot if i can if i can acquire some original
recipe miller light vortex bottles will you for the recipe i don't think the recipe no no it's i
mean you're right it's always triple hops brewed. If I could acquire some Vortex bottles, Dave,
would you commit to doing Edward Vortex bottle hands?
It's 24 ounces.
It shoots down your throat,
so you know you're not going to be drinking for that long.
I think it's in range.
Am I doing this for a video?
I'll be going live?
I don't know.
We can go live if you want to.
Because I owe people, I still owe people a Combine video, which is in the works.
I will commit to this as well. Okay. But I can't make any promises that the majority of it won't
just end up down my pants. All I want to do is just drink a Vortex bottle, an original recipe
one, as well as smoke one of Jerry Garcia's cigarettes that was at auction that I think a backer actually bought.
Man, I just found a tweet
from the official Miller Lite account.
It said, we're bringing back the Vortex bottle.
I realized it was from April 1st of 2023.
It's not funny.
It's not funny.
The first person said terrible joke.
Yeah, it's not good.
It's a shitty joke, Miller Lite.
That ain't cool.
I do want
everyone to know that if they do bring it back in 2024 i just want to know who you need to thank
because i've been i've been really hitting them hard lately dylan shiverly and gentlemen
it's i don't know if i ever drank i did drink out of a vortex it came out so fast that was
really crazy anyway i'm on day like four or five of homemade red eyes,
and, man, they're treating me right.
I just want you all to know that.
You're putting off guy who just discovered red eye vibes.
What?
It's just the vibe I'm getting from it.
Because they just started making them at home?
I just discovered them?
It's just I can tell when you've just discovered something.
I can't believe you're drinking analog caffeine, dude.
Imagine not drinking Celsius every single morning.
I'm drinking that Ozempic.
Shout out to Drew.
What did Drew say?
No, they don't have to talk about it. There's some allegations
on the internet that have been debunked
about how apparently there's a similar
substance to Ozempic in Celsius.
Oh, really? Which I think when he told
us this was supposed to be a deterrent for us
and if anything, I was like, oh, that sounds awesome.
Oh, it's going to curb my appetite?
Yeah, I would love to go back down to a 32 ways for a little bit.
That sounds awesome.
Man, I feel like I missed a good time over the weekend with the boys.
This morning I had the most depressing caffeine intake you could possibly have.
I woke up and I poured some of the coffee
from yesterday's pot of coffee into a cup.
And I just put ice in there and I drank that.
And then I got to the office and drank a mixed berry Celsius.
You drinking that old bing bong?
I was drinking that.
It was aged.
Stale?
Here's the thing.
I've never really thought that the coffee tastes that bad
the next day when you just deal with some ice in it.
No, it's not bad. I feel like the ice kind of masks like the the cold masks the
flavor you can mask a lot with the cold they say six hours before it starts to get bitter really
i looked it up because i was doing it quite a bit when i would go home for lunch and i would just
reheat the pod that was still on there oh that's totally fine it's it is fine it won't like hurt your tum tum or anything no no i don't know how to reheat
our pot every time i try to do it it just makes another pot of coffee which is not convenient
you could just pour some in a mug and put that in the micro i'm weirdly against microwaving coffee
there's something about it to me that it doesn't, I don't know. I don't like it.
I'd do it.
I'd rather just drink room temperature coffee
than microwave it for some reason.
Oh, no.
But you know me.
I'm a cold boy.
Cold pizza, favorite show.
You know, I was doing Pants Ping Bong the other day.
You poured coffee down your pants.
Cold brew.
Really?
Yeah.
I was actually, they were actually corduroys,
and I was at the bottom,
and I was drinking this coffee off the pants like it was an ice luge he was high sluging yes he was like i
missed a lot you did he was siphoning the coffee from my pants yeah you missed a lot because he
didn't show up to our meeting for the tortured poets for some reason the ac kicking on sounded
or the heater sounded like uh started raining real hard it startled me for a second you're not tortured enough imagine now being a poet who is also
tortured man there's just so much t swift content out there right now guys i don't know she's
everywhere well she's shifting the election dylan i know she is you know what happened right before
she wrote this album with tortured poets she actually got tortured they put
her in the boo box from hook did shmi let her out shmi no shmi was at fucking kelly's irish pub
sitting at the table next to us so sick to be in in public and see someone from the past
missed the entire part of that guy wearing a
kilt you have no clue until we did the show monday it was one of those moments where the man stood up
with his mutton chops and tiny glasses and he stood up and it was like yeah he should be wearing
a kilt this checks out you think he would have have mugs he's on or something like what what
else what he did what else was that guy gonna be wearing what? What's our code? Does Mugsy make kilts?
I don't believe so.
Okay.
I don't know what our code is offhand.
Maybe he had just gotten off his shift at the Tilted Kilt and was trying to have a beer.
That's true.
He could be a manager.
He was a waiter.
Yeah.
Something tells me that guy wears a kilt every day.
He's just fully bought in. He has major professor at UT vibes.
Okay.
Grad assistant, first or second year professor.
He teaches something that none of us need to know.
He has a depth of knowledge on topics that we could not even fathom learning about.
He knows about battles that happened on American soil that we didn't even know existed you don't
know shit about battles he's he's done a reenactment at some point yeah or 100 he's
done a dungeons and dragons sessions at randy's place on a monday night he knows where randy with
the boys with the boys is every kilt guy and my legs don't get cold guy i think by default you
kind of have to be.
Do they put on leggings when it's too cold?
I think you need your ass kicked doing that.
No.
Put on some aloe.
You can't wear leggings, dude. Yogas.
You can't be hitting them with those.
You can't be wearing yoga pants with that booty cheek lift on the kilt.
Imagine a BBL on a kilt.
Like you're a dude who's got a BBL.
I thought guys in kilts prided themselves on not wearing underwear. I that was kind of a thing did nothing on under there i think that's
a thing that was braveheart no way you got to you can't have your stuff just hanging down why
easy breezy you're flirty like that you're like uh you're not willing to go nuts out in the kilt

like you know had a full conversation with celine dion but like there's a million photos of them
hanging out after that i don't think Celine's upset over it.
She looked rattled when it happened.
Do you think she's even more tortured now as a poet?
No.
I'm just saying she's like, what's her problem?
You know, kind of thing.
Do a Celine.
Don't sing, but just like how Celine Dion talks

day we had um my son his uh third birthday party at a place here in austin uh there's
these places are popping up basically they turn one half of the building into a tiny town.
It was lit.
It's pretty cool.
I completely get it.
It's perfect for kids under five.
There's a pharmacy or there's like a doctor's office.
There's a hospital.
There's a big slide that doesn't really fit. But then there's like a construction zone.
There's an auto shop where I caught Fritz just putting together an engine.
Yeah, it's pretty lit.
Yeah, I showed him some Sidney Sweeney videos from her collab with Ford,
and he's been really into cars ever since.
Car guy.
Car guy.
And, yeah, we did that.
A bunch of kids from class came.
It was a lot of fun it was a good good time
they ordered pete we i was gonna say zock cards were played david saw cards were played um really
glad i was i was told we needed to order pizza the night before for dinner and then we're having it
the next night too but uh you know i thought about calling the police but i didn't think it'd be
appropriate to have the uh the cops show up to your son's party. There was a police station in there.
Yeah, that's true.
Can you imagine Dave getting hauled out like Cuba Gooding Jr.
from his son's birthday party because he played a Zod card two days in a row?
But it's just toddlers arresting me.
That'd be a mega cute scene.
They're walking me out like Lisa Ann.
Who's that?
Not online.
Hang on. I don't know that name i gotta get that can you fill me in on who lisa ann might be naylin palin i know who sarah palin is well i don't get it i'm aware
the mail-in podcast it's a satirical take on sarah palin but who she's an actress or what
yeah okay what kind of stuff is
she she's an adult i don't like what you're doing most actors are i would say i don't i don't like
what you want to know what else she's been in let's see yeah look up the imdb david
click that first link dude i don't turn your volume down am i gonna get in trouble yeah

last night she just wanted to say hi to her friend matt rife she got arrested or just kicked out
very happy to to proclaim that i did not know who matt rife was until this morning same well i i knew
the face i didn't
know what his name was i don't you could put his face among 10 other faces and i wouldn't know
which one's which very cool man um yesterday potentially the windiest day in austin texas
in a long long time so what do you do you go out with the boys and you play some golf you fucking go you fucking
go play some golf with the boys you walk out to the driving range and you realize that you are the
legitimately the only people on the driving range now normally that's a great thing like oh got the
course to ourselves uh this is this was so windy that we kind of were discussing like all right
do we go nine and call it maybe go uh get
some beers let me go have a nice meal of food as we walked up to the range separately me and my
brother-in-law drew we we had a discussion that was like so how fast do we deploy the maybe we
shouldn't play today card maybe we should just go have a power lunch maybe we should just go eat
some breakfast in the clubhouse and then when they they told us that two groups had approached the first tee and neither of them
teed off and they just went home, we were like, what do we do here? What do we do here? Did y'all
play? Yeah, we played, dude. Are you kidding? The boys went low. No, you didn't. No one's going low
in that kind of condition. What did Drew shoot? 75? 75. 75. Will, you played good.
I don't know what you shot,
but you hit the ball well.
I shot a very spotless 86.
I lost two balls
and both balls that I lost
were honestly findable.
If we didn't have a group
of walkers behind us,
I think I would have
maybe spent a little more time
on at least one of those
looking for it,
but I took two penalty strokes
that I really didn't want to take.
I was going to say,
Will kept his ball in play
very, very well.
Whereas that was where my cart had some trouble.
Didn't play well.
Had fun.
Who's the fourth?
Our good friend Ryan.
Good friend Ryan who hosted us.
Do you remember the short par four that Klein famously put the three wood very close to?
Mm-hmm.
Well, Will hit the identical shot yesterday.
No shit.
Bombing.
Did you make the eagle putt?
No.
Already did.
Did you pick up the birdie putt like a Frank Klein?
I did make the birdie putt.
It was a knee knocker of a birdie putt to hit coming back.
So I don't leave eagle putts short.
Not saying certain people do.
It's not something I do.
I had two looks at eagle yesterday.
Didn't leave any short.
But if you blow it six feet past,
you're supposed to make that next putt.
Your boy also hit that green.
Yeah, Davey followed up.
Davey three jacked.
And not like that.
That's a smooth par.
I walked off feeling like I left a little bit to be desired.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was tough.
It was a tough eagle putt.
I got a little scared after watching some other putts.
But yeah, it was a great time.
And then yesterday I went home.
I kind of had to pay my dues.
Yeah.
I've been gone all day, so I cooked.
I did dinner.
Davey's Famous Meatballs.
Ran them back.
Davey's Balls.
I did not get a knock on my door last night with the gift of meatballs.
You know what's funny about that?
I told Alyssa, I go, this is the second time I've done this recipe.
If this turns out good, I'm going to make these in mass quantity and give them out.
And it turned out very good.
So there will be a gift of meatball soon.
Good.
Come.
And then I watched some Grammys.
I wasn't going to watch any Grammys, and I saw all the fast car chatter.
Tuned in, watched that.
Got very, you know, it was very emotional.
Is there like an F1 play there?
Tracy Chapman. watched that got very you know it was very emotional like an f1 play there tracy chapman and uh watch true detective which i gotta say the timeline timeline had the last night's true
detective way up here like i was like oh fuck we're fucking going in i had a little bit below
that i didn't think it lived up to the timeline hype so just saying i'm currently not planning on watching true detective
once the season is wrapped once the season is wrapped i'll be listening to reviews from people
i trust dave you're one of those people and i might entertain it i might that's fair i think
it's a good way to do it i played my zalkard last night not to brag Got an eggplant pie from a little place called Homeslice.
I don't want to hear anymore.
Homeslice, I don't know how you ever went there on a Sunday night.
What a nightmare that place was last night.
Really?
To overrun with people.
We did pickup, and I was like, get me out of here.
The line inside to order stuff was crazy.
Yeah, shout out Homeslice, though.
Probably my favorite pizza right now in Austin, Texas.
Damn good. I got into something this weekend it's been a little bit since i've uh gotten into a series alone and i sat on the couch on saturday and i watched a little bit of uh the new series
on netflix that's essentially drive to survive but with rugby six flat or six nations you guys
watch this it is so sickby should be way more popular
than it is in America.
They timed it
so it released around the same time
as the actual tournament
starting up again.
And so I did watch,
I did watch a match
over the weekend as well.
I kind of know what's going on.
You're getting into rugby.
Well, it's awesome.
It's so much fun to watch.
It gives you the satisfaction
of seeing dudes
just get absolutely like crushed, but without any commercial breaks. Do you gives you the satisfaction of seeing dudes just get absolutely crushed,
but without any commercial breaks.
Do you know all the rules of rugby?
No.
There's some things that I'm fuzzy on,
but they're so inconsequential to what's going on that it's like,
I don't think it really matters that I'm fuzzy on those rules.
The whole scrum situation kind of confuses me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
When they lock shoulders, whatever, and they just push each other.
There are some times when the ball might change hands,
and I'm like, I don't really know why, but I'm just going to roll with it.
I'm just going to start cheering for my squad.
I'm Team Scotland, obviously.
Well, yeah.
You got to roll with the Scottish, of course.
But yeah, other than that, it was a pretty chill weekend.
I definitely paid my dues when I got home from golf yesterday.
We had two kids that did not want to nap yesterday,
and so we had the absolute pleasure of just getting my,
my shorts kicked in.
Um,
and,
uh,
yeah,
it's,
it's just,
it is what it is.
Yo,
that's a good way to put it.
Uh,
I did watch a little bit of the Grammys.
I,
I,
I made the mistake of tuning in when,
uh,
during the in memoriam part,
probably the least electric time to tune into an award show if you had to do that uh shots of jimmy buffett getting his due they they chose like the best
photos of jimmy buffett to use yeah like like like mid-70s jimmy buffett like looking borderline
scumbag yeah got it together scumbag which is always good
but other than that didn't didn't really have much much juice uh i did there are rumors flying
i did go to matts all rancho on saturday night after uh going to roads his birthday i didn't
see roads at his birthday because i mean as dave said uh the slide at roads birthday was his zip
line he wasn't moving from that thing he like wasn't even interacting with his friends he would just go to the slide my mom was like you should tell him to
go is he only here for the slide well yeah dude three-year-olds are super reasonable and always
understand when you tell them to talk to your friend yeah it's a pretty good slide yeah okay
and now like my mom's like oh we should get him one i'm like where are we gonna put that
it's like a eight feet in the air slide.
Yeah, just get an eight foot slide, dude.
Put it off the roof.
To the backyard.
I just don't know.
Liability.
You can climb to the roof.
You can climb to the roads, man.
Just killing it.
HB day.
I went blackened fish tacos.
Not a lot of people doing that at Matt's All Rancho, mainly because it's not on the menu.
It's a good order.
It's a great order.
It's fine.
Flour tortillas. Yeah, it's's fine i even ate a little bob yeah with the meat in it i stirred it
holy shit i had the i had the honor of being the person that got to stir the bob
that's big dick ballers only okay bdbs okay you know about that you online what you know about
that dog uh not not a lot honestly yeah
hey when you said tortilla it made me think of something micah well besides micah who i'm always
thinking about tortilla you know at the course we played at they have like the uh little peanut
butter jelly banana yeah dude yeah i went home and i decided i'm gonna i'm gonna make him for
roads because he loves peanut butter jelly and bananas. That's a good call.
The way he ate them, he just peeled them apart,
licked the insides, and just stacked the tortillas,
didn't eat the tortillas.
That's how Fritz eats pizza sometimes.
I was like, oh, so I just prepared that nice meal and used classic toddler.
I like it.
Yeah.
I have a song that's written about a restaurant that I started.
Welcome to Wilmont's.
You guys familiar with that song?
Love that song.
Honestly, having my own song makes me feel absolutely invincible.
I can put that on at any time, and it just feels so cool.

that allowed you to create your own custom song?
What if?

It's going to be awesome.

He didn't say Parks there.
I'm going to blow his little mind.
It's going to be awesome.

recording and producing your original song

I kind of want to hear that song that you got cooking up for Parks. Give me a couple bars.
It doesn't exist yet. It's still in the works.
In your head, though, what do you think it's going to sound like?
Saturdays. I can't.
With the parks.
I can't freestyle.
Feeling like the 4th of July.
That's not hip hop, dog.
Saturday.
That's not it either.
Give me a bar, Dave.
You got a fast car.
And I got a ticket to go to Zilker parks zilker parks that's sick
you got a sun in park how many people were watching the grammys last night and they're
like who is this lady singing with with uh what's who is who is singing it luke combs luke combs
who's like that's a shame who's this lady that's a shame
do you think people don't know who tracy chapman is she hasn't she hasn't performed in forever
dave portoy thought she was deceased really he put out a tweet he's like i didn't know she was
still alive yeah that's fair though she hasn't she hasn't performed in forever she doesn't perform
publicly much like some people don't talk about their finances. Does she have any other joints?
Oh, yeah.
Like what?
She do, give me one reason to stay here.
Oh, yeah.
That's a great song.
That is a good song.
You notice how I wasn't confident singing that one, but Fast Car, I was.
Give me one reason to stay here.
Luke Combs version.
That was a little Scott Stapp-y.
Luke Combs version, while good, is not as good as the original.
I agree with that.
Can I make a statement right now?
I suppose.
Cannabis is a silent epidemic wreaking havoc on the American family.
Facts.
Cannabis is a silent epidemic wreaking havoc on the American family.
Justin Murphy at JMRPHY, he's that cool dude who takes the vowels out of his name and thinks he's edgy for it.
Oh.
He said a friend brought some of these over and he drank two around 8 p.m.
He's talking about the recess drink that's got hemp and adaptogens in it.
Had this.
It's infused sparkling water.
It's calm, cool, and collected.
You can even buy them at the co-op down the street from our office.
He said a friend brought some over, and he said his body completely shut down,
and he slept from 9 p.m. until 10 a.m.
He slept through Sunday mass.
How is this legal, he asked.
That rocks.
With such innocent packaging.
Hey, Justin, you win my Boner of the Week Award.
Congratulations.
Dude, I'd kill to have that kind of sleep.
Dude, I would do anything to sleep from 9 p.m. till 10 a.m.
That sounds incredible.
Have you read the community notes underneath the tweet?
The lab results provided by the company show that the drinks contain no THC,
the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, and just 10 to 11 milligrams of CBD per can.
And it notes this is a low dose.
Our man got too twisted off of two cans of CBD.
Fucking two cans, Sam.
Right?
You can't put this on the TL.
I hate this guy.
He's getting roasted.
I hate this guy.
Is he for real?
Look at his picture.
It's perfect.
He did two single CBDs and passed out for 13 hours
i've had this particular beverage and i have to say first of all
the branding is phenomenal it's good brand it's aesthetically pleasing and i've you can get these
at the good gas station down the way the one we like the 7-eleven yeah and uh they taste good
and i think they've got like this is gonna sound to sound like an ad read. They've got like the adaptogens and shit.
Yeah, dude.
They're adapting.
Yeah.
They are.
Dude had the dopest sleep he's had in his adult life.
And he's coming to TL to complain about it.
Dude, just.
He missed mass.
Set an alarm, player.
That's why I knew it's a mass.
Never seen you there.
Yeah.
You go to mass day?
Yeah.
How much marijuanas are you drinking every weekend
that you're skipping Mass at this rapid clip, Dylan?
CBD.
Like, this is like the dorkiest tweet of all time.
Like, you drank two sparkling waters
infused with 10 milligrams of CBD
and you just passed out for 13 hours?
I like how he took a portrait mode picture of his can, too.
You've taken a few of those.
What do you mean by can?
Penis.
Oh, man.
Dab on him, Dave.
Dab on him.
Dylan, are you willing to drink a six-pack of these
and see if you can stand up straight?
It's just CBD, right?
You're going to do the Justin Murphy challenge.
I think I'll be just fine.
The add Justin Murphy challenge.
Dude, imagine if this guy got his hands on some, actually like some gas.
Yeah, we need this guy to smoke some Reggie one time and see what happens to it.
Dude, smoke some of that kill and see how you handle it.
Is he going to confessional next week being like, oh.
I had to just drink.
I drank 20 milligrams of CBD. I i'm so sorry i slept for 13
hours send alarm player what a wild night this guy had van morrison style dude his friends were
probably just roasting him when he passed out like what was in there i woke up i woke up with
permanent marker all over my face i woke up with the best sleep ever i was so rested i forgot that
van morrison covered that um John Mellencamp song.
Wild Night.
How was this legal
with such innocent packaging?
It says straight up on the can
there's hemp in it.
Like, just figure it out, dude.
Use your brain one time.
Has this guy ever had
a single Miller Lite Vortex bottle?
Dude, there's no way.
Imagine if he drinks
two of those the night before.
He's going to miss mass
ten times out of ten.
He missed Sunday mass. He's going to miss a lot more than that i think these cbd
drinks could use one thing and one thing only a vortex in the mouthpiece that's right no no no
you can't you can't do that to him the justin's mind cannot comprehend it's simply too hard this
reminds me of the time that dave drank uh two hard kombuchas and gut biome was firing the next day, but he was just so hungover.
They were having a little rave down there.
They were having a little Burning Man in my tum tum.
Does kombucha need alcohol in it?
It's all got alcohol in it.
It has traces of it, I understand.
That's how it's made.
You need to get drunk and take care of the gut biome at the same time.
Fermentation.
Let us get drunk on kombucha dude
i'm not saying can't i'm saying it's probably not necessary what if it's like a low dose we're
calming off that booze how much is in there yeah what's the percentage in a hard kombucha i'm gonna
say 2.5 abv look it up i bet 2. no i bet it's like oh no i bet it's like i bet it's like i bet it's
like a beer yeah like yeah the one that we got was Juneshine, and it appears as though Juneshine,
out of California,
that's $12.99 for a six-pack of 12-ounce,
6% alcohol, David.
That's aggressive.
Sheesh.
Yeah, it's like a pale ale.
Okay.
Stronger than a lager, you know?
But not exactly an IPA.
What's an IPA?
Like six and a half?
Eight-ish, I want to say.
I haven't had one.
It varies, obviously.
I've not had one single IPA in 2024.
I might try to go the entire year.
Neither have I.
I freaking love them, though.
Neither have I.
The only IPA I've enjoyed is the one from Paradox Brewery.
Shout out, Brett.
That he brought us back.
P-A-R-A-D-O-X.
I'll mess up an electric jellyfish.
I was at Pint House Friday
picking up a pizza
and guess who got there a little early?
Me.
What'd you get?
I got the,
he got a bearded seal nitro stout.
Of course.
I got the stout.
You're a stout boy.
If I know Davey like I know him,
he got that bearded seal
and it was like very crowded on Friday as it it often is so i was just there kind of just
trying to find a spot to to belly up couldn't find one so i was just kind of floating in people's way
no i'm just waiting for pizza yeah they're like do you want to know the amount of times that i've
floated there drinking a beer while waiting for my pizza to come out is it's a lot it's a good place to float is he okay murphy is he okay yeah
he's had he had just had all the rest he needed he's he's doing great i legit might go to the
store and get two of these and see how i sleep tonight because i could i could really use 13
hours of sleep right now awesome your wife might not appreciate you sleeping for 13 hours straight sorry babe i
got twisted on two cbds which is different than 2cb right correct which you also get twisted on
yeah you won't sleep 13 hours if you take 2cb you put the d in 2cb that's right yeah whoa
2cb is what again it's it's like an acid is it in the acid family it's kind of like
yeah like molly and acid all at once sick per just hallucinate with a boner yeah that's fucking
sick is molly you ever done that does molly give you a boner everything give you a boner if you're
horny enough that's true have you ever hallucinated with an erection not like you in the erection but you're i'm sorry to be that'd be weird if you were like
just you decided you want to do ayahuasca and like your your journey was that you were just
an erection you talked to your you talked to your that's fucking weird you talked to your erect
penis real beaters no that would be speaking of beaters, have you guys seen these Vision Pros?
Dude, yes.
This is some of the best
content going right now.
I fucking love it.
I'm very concerned.
Hand up, hand up.
I actually wanted
one of these things
like not long ago.
I was like, man,
when it first came out,
I was like,
I'm definitely going to get one.
Then I saw the price tag
and I was like,
I'm definitely not getting one.
And seeing all the dudes
walking around on Twitter
over the last
however many hours,
it's really tough to ride for these guys.
I didn't know that you operated it by like actual hand motions in front of the thing.
I don't know what I was thinking, but that's – it adds much more enjoyment for me just like knowing that people are out there with their hands up in public just like turning stuff and hitting buttons and it's really funny is this
gonna catch on this is where i what i'm worried about i think it is because and i want to know
why this is happening maybe randy can enlighten us why is this getting such more positive pub
than the facebook the meta version because it's apple but like you remember like when the meta version dropped
everyone was shitting on it well it's everyone it's completely different is it that much better
well this is like you're on a computer like you operate was meta not i thought meta was like you're
walking around meeting other people virtually metaverse you know what i mean but like meta
apple just has so much more power than than Facebook has when it comes to like a physical product.
I also think that like the usability of it, if that's a word, is completely different.
Yeah.
I think from – I didn't do any direct comparisons, but I did see a lot of people being like Zuckerberg cannot be happy about what's happening over at Apple right now with these VR goggles.
Does metaverse – does it come with like goggles like that?
I think it does.
Yeah.
It's got – they don't look like like that? I think it does. Yeah. It's got something. They don't look like ski goggles
like the Vision Pro does.
Yeah.
Hey,
imagine like going
and like skiing with these on.
Can you imagine?
Yep.
Yeah.
We were sitting in the office earlier
and Randy's like,
dude,
he's so cool to go like skiing with these
and,
you know,
play games while you're skiing.
Like what are you,
what?
I'm talking like augmented reality.
Like there's like a monster on the slope
and you have to avoid it.
No.
No, Randy.
That sounds dangerous.
The last thing people need while skiing is more distraction on the mountain.
Like people are already-
It's a dangerous activity.
The number one way to get injured on the mountain is running into people.
You can't just be chasing monsters down the mountain like you're that video game from
1990.
What if you had a little HUD that said how fast you were going and like what slope you're
on, the GPS and wherever
Think this dude was a HUD a HUD
Randy was you don't even know what HUD stands. I don't I have no clue what HUD stands for any
I wasn't playing Freddy Bird. Well, yeah, I'm out anyone know how this is for. I mean, yeah, fuck you guys
You try to catch them all that's the so s the ready bird. bird no he goes every time he jumps frat frat frat
frat randy did grand x make money off fratty bird i don't think it's hard to say i don't think so
okay i think it was ever monetized i didn't know if there was like in-app purchases you could make
or anything like that you know like change his outfit yeah you can make the bird dorn when he
died it would go bro five bucks to put a BFG on him? Yeah.
Hit him with those three-inch inseams?
Shout out Bach.
That's kind of funny.
Shout out Bach. That would have been a good idea.
Yeah.
For this much, you can go with a polo polo.
But for this much, you can go with a Brooks Brothers polo.
If I recall, he had a backwards hat on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Was it frayed?
No, that wasn't frayed, dude.
Damn.
It was probably a university bar hat.
You got a freddie bird
have you like there's the photo that i saw the most on the timeline of this vision pro stuff
was two dudes sitting at lunch together just like wearing their goggles just vibing my favorite is
the woman who was driving not even driving she was riding in the driver's seat of a cyber truck
a tesla cyber truck and her hands
were not on the steering wheel they were operating her her goggles that's the worst that's the worst
person like that that's officially the worst person on earth are those vehicles autonomous
cyber trucks i guess they are right yeah i guess no they have names
i just don't get like do you need to be wearing your vision goggles in your cyber truck?
I don't know.
Like that's so funny.
Just stop doing it.
Gosh,
dude.
These are almost as bad as the time Dylan did Arabian goggles.
Arabian goggles.
I don't know what that means.
Also known as the Squidward.
Dylan, if it makes you feel any better, I also don't know what that means. Also known as the Squidward. Dylan, if it makes you feel any better,
I also don't know what they're talking about right now.
Don't look it up and read it on the pod.
Also known as the Squidward.
Shut up, Randy.
Is there any...
Oh, come for the guy who doesn't know what Arabian Goggles is.
This guy's got an accent.
Is there any use case that you guys would have in your personal life
for having one of these?
The only thing I want to try doing on this is watching a movie.
I just want to see what it looks like. I totally i would be like i wouldn't be in public
what don what is wrong with you what what are you talking about well there's an urban dictionary i'm
choosing to not know what this is i'm choosing to ignore i don't even want to read it it's grotesque
okay it's sexual and grotesque. And no one's ever done it.
I would, no.
If we got a deal with Apple, huge, and they were like, hey, you guys want these?
Fuck yeah.
Of course.
But the one that made me sad was the guy who's like holding his baby and he's just got these
on.
I'm like, man, you get, this is a little much.
I would wear them at home.
I wouldn't wear them in public.
Yeah.
Wearing them in public is lame.
Also, do you know the battery life of these?
Like three hours?
It's like two hours.
Two?
It's honestly not that bad.
That'll get better.
I think it's not great.
For VR, though, it feels good.
I don't know.
If I know that I only have two hours on it,
I'm probably not bringing it out in public
and looking like a dickhead.
Here's the thing.
They make it two hours on purpose
for the first iteration.
The next version, oh, by the way, now you get three and a half hours.
So people are going to want to open it.
And then they're going to change the charger slightly.
This is what they do.
Yeah.
This is what they do.
Aren't there laws around chargers now?
It's big in the EU.
It has to be more universal.
The EU is not pleased with the charger situations, I don't think.
Oh, really?
They're trying to make it all USB-C, I think.
Isn't that what the new iPhones are? USB-C? I don't know man frat i still have the old shit they weren't real happy about the harbaugh
hire this is empty bolt up dave bolt up i got a real problem with these vr goggles though
what's this gonna do to goon caves if goon caves have never been trembling more than they are right now.
It could save you a lot of real estate in your home.
We've gotten to the point.
So I have a little room up in the upstairs of our new place that's turned into my FIFA cave.
And because I jokingly was calling it a goon cave for so long, now Sally will just be like,
oh, yeah, can you just put that chair up in the goon cave for now to get it out of the way?
And I'm like, can you not call it that?
We have a son who's at the age where
he's learning new words, and I don't need
him at work. I don't want him to be at school
when he's writing down like, mommy
works at a hospital.
Daddy plays video games in his goon cave.
Does she know, is she aware of the alternate
definition? Yeah, yeah, she is.
She is. I have the circling
back definition, which is just a is. I have the circling back definition,
which is just a cave.
It's a man cave.
Yeah.
You just hang out.
You goon around.
Yeah.
Randy has the perverted one that he brought to life. He was like, oh, you guys know what that is?
Real nasty.
He's a nasty boy.
Then he goes to his goon cave with his fucking Vision Pros on.
I wish.
Gets to work.
Oh, my goodness.
Can you imagine?
Gets to work.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah. We found out what goon cave was on Nalen. That's how. How, can you imagine? Gets to work. Yeah.
We found out what Goon Cave was on Mailin.
That's how.
How much would you pay?
How much?
What price would have to occur on these Vision Pros for you to be like,
all right, maybe I'd do it?
I don't know.
It's a lot of money.
It's got to be gaming console.
They're really expensive.
It's too expensive.
Yeah.
I don't even think it's a cool flex
to have them right now
If anything I'm like, all right tone it down and to be like the first group to take him out in the wild
It's it takes a you got to be bold to do that. I was really jealous of the first people that had iPhones
I'm not jealous of the first generation of people that are copping these would you rather would you rather?
have to drive around like a cool area and like be seen by everybody
driving a Tesla truck
or walking around
with these goggles on?
Like just walking down the sidewalk
like doing the Tesla truck probably.
So the wire is connected
to the battery, right?
Isn't that the battery pack?
And then the battery's
connected to the hip bone.
No, but really?
I don't know.
They haven't gone wireless?
There is a wire that does connect
to the battery okay and so if you were sitting on your couch you can just plug that in and you
can sit there for as long as you want the next version is gonna is gonna not have a wire
because that's about it's connected to the battery it's connected to the hip bone
stop he's still doing this stop let's get it to the hip let him cook why don't you let the
man cook yeah hold up real quick hold up i'm on my raffy shit right now

You guys don't even drip out like me.
Don't even drip out like me, he says.
I noticed Dylan's rocking an undershirt today.
I got a sweater on.
Is that a sweater?
Yeah, that's a sweater, Dave.
Okay.
Got the rowback.
Get off of my shirt.
We have a lot of confusion in the office today
regarding sweaters versus pullovers.
Sorry, shirts versus pullovers.
We got an argument earlier.
Yeah, that's not the Roback one,
but the Roback crew neck is very
athletic
material than sweater.
Yeah, it's Roback, dude.
They're thin. They're thin guys.
Yeah.
They also have that long sleeve that's even thinner.
Sick.
Hey, dude, that's awesome.
That's so sick.
That's awesome.
You're just jealous you're not as swag-tastic as me.
Randy, you look very scrum-diddly-umptious today.
Thank you, David.
So do you.
You look very scrum-diddly-umptious as well.
I would do pants beers with you.
You know what?
I'll help you build your grill this weekend.
How about that?
Okay.
I'm going to hold you to it.
I'll buy you a nice meal of Korean barbecue.
You got a grill?
You can't see it?
It's not in my mouth.
I didn't get a grill.
No one's doing grills in their mouth.
It's February.

You know what that tradition is?
I get seasonal affective disorder.
I get a little bummed out. It's that of sunlight you know you know yeah we all get a

Got some major news.
I was actually kind of surprised by this, Dave, because I think I might have misread something earlier this year.
No, no, no.
You and many people were given some bad intel from our friends in the newspaper business.
I feel like we were originally told that the World Cup final was going to be in Arlington, Texas.
You guys familiar with this area?
Well, it turns out it's going to be in New Jersey now.
Yeah.
A bunch of the outlets were reporting that.
They said it was all but done.
All the things I missed on the TL this weekend, I actually did catch this one.
You're a footy guy.
There's some funny responses to it.
Who's your favorite manager?
Mourinho.
There you go.
Jose.
There you go.
Jose?
Yeah.
He does Jose.
Jose.
I am Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho.
Dave, do you know who that is?
No, I do.
I was kind of excited that it was going to be in Dallas,
or Arlington, I guess, because I was like of excited that it was gonna be in Dallas or Arlington
I guess because I was like, okay, I can drive to a World Cup final. That's really sick
Now that it's going to be in New Jersey or you know MetLife
I just don't think there's any scenario where I find myself there unless a sponsor is willing to drop the bag get up there
Man, what do you mean? Nah, what club what team what country I guess would would get you like?
considering a trip?
What about the U.S.? Yeah, U.S. would be incredible.
It'd be a hard ticket to get.
It would also be really fun to see just some goats going up against each other.
I would like to see – it would be fun to see France in a World Cup final.
Mbappe?
I just want to see Mbappe.
It's nothing crazy.
Just seeing him live would be a trip. But I don't know. I don't want to travel. It would just be too see Mbappe. Yeah. It's nothing crazy. Like just seeing him live would be a trip.
But I don't know.
I don't want to travel.
It would just be too much of a nightmare.
Everyone talking about how miserable it is to get to MetLife anyway.
It doesn't really sound like very fun.
Why is it hard to get there?
They're saying the European mind can definitely not comprehend what's going on right now at MetLife.
There's like signs that say that you can't walk from certain hotels to MetLife because it's too dangerous.
So it's literally like illegal to do it. have to take like some tram oh all right hey oh
oh how sick would it be if italy made the final oh my god it'd be a big problem would show out
you'd have a problem the five families could not comprehend. Tone.
Biggest sport in the world, T.
No, dude.
So Arlington's getting – they're calling it – they're doing the thing where they're calling it the Dallas matches.
Does that bother you?
It doesn't bother me, but it's like it's not it's 20 minutes
away and it's also not a not a great town um for public transportation or walking or anything
whatever um they're getting nine matches will that's a lot so that's pretty there's a good
chance that there's going to be more than one or two that you want to go check oh yeah for sure
like if since it's in driving distance,
and I think they're doing it at NRG, too, in Houston,
because it's in driving distance,
I think I'll definitely try to go to any match that I can get tickets to
in Texas would be incredible.
I would love to prioritize some good teams if possible,
but I'd like to go to anything.
I think it'd be really fun just to go to a match.
I would definitely go.
I'm more of a rugby guy now, though, i just like hitting people you know what's the uh the world cup
equivalent in the rugby world i think it's the six nations what's which is what they're doing now
sick can you name all six nations i don't think i can australia's got to be one well it's new
zealand all blacks we know that we have france england England, Scotland, Ireland, and I think South Africa.
That's what I was wrong.
Why are those the six?
Dave, I don't know.
I could be wrong.
I could be wrong.
There's definitely going to be.
We've got good backers who are really into rugby.
No, I respect rugby people.
I'm not trying to tread.
I'm not trying to stop on any toes here.
But I respect rugby people, mainly because I'm scared of them.
Mainly because they headbutt each other at parties.
I went to a UT rugby party in college,
and people were just walking around
just headbutting each other,
and I got headbutted.
I was wrong.
That sounds terrible.
It wasn't my scene.
It's England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, Wales.
Ooh, you got to think of Wales. The All Blacks are not in there. in there have an advantage i'm not a rugby guy start over there i think they've got another tournament
australia i think that do they just have a world cup i'm botching this it's okay i just want you
to the sport i'm documentary guy i'm guy who watched documentary two episodes one time it's
like when we all started watching the f1 doc and we thought we knew shit we didn't yeah we had it
we had it took us a while.
J-Bone's hardly laid that into a career. They have a rugby World Cup so I'm an idiot.
But the Six Nations I think is probably just like the
in-between tournament that people get horned up for.
Is there a local rugby league we can get into?
They do rugby seven.
They've done the national championship for rugby
sevens. I think the national championship.
I'm just botching everything.
They did a championship match for the rugby sevens,
which is seven people on the field, smaller teams,
at the Q2 stadium the last two years.
I've been out of town both times,
but I think it'd be really fun to go to.
I think the crowd would be fun.
I think it'd be fun to watch a sport
that we're not really familiar with in person.
The Q2 is a great experience to go to.
We got to put on some masks if we're going to try to play this game.
Can you play in the VR goggles?
They're all thick.
Maybe you can play a game while you're playing rugby, like inside the VR goggles.
Like half of the rugby teams on this documentary are dudes that look –
they're shaped like Jason Kelsey.
They're perfect.
Yeah.
They all have cauliflower ear.
Dude, they get a full head of steam. They're running with that ball. Forget're perfect. Yeah. They all have cauliflower ear. Dude, they get a full head of steam.
They're running with that ball.
Forget about it.
I really want cauliflower ear.
I think I'm going to get it.
It's probably easy to get.
Randy's out there doing a D&D campaign in the middle of Scrum.
Yeah.
He's playing Tetris inside his headset.
We do have the Austin Major League Rugby team, the Gil Gronus.
Gil Gronus?
You familiar?
I'm not.
Also, apparently there's the Dallas Jackals, which is objectively sick.
That sounds pretty cool.
That's a top three Dallas sports team name.
Yeah, there's only a club team at Texas, unfortunately.
I wonder if they have any dope merch.
I would love to steal some valor from the Texasuck texas rugby team these guys look fucking frat you think these guys
drink vortex bottles they like probably just like chew the glass
they they do the vortex inside the bottle and they could shoot down like that one weirdo
you seen that guy i mean i did that one
time really recently is it hard to do no i just wanted to see i just wanted to see because i saw
someone do it online so many times that i decided to try doing it i don't think i did it very well
it doesn't work no i mean there's no vortex in the bottle are you talking about the guy
they're really small sunglasses no the guy who growls who you're gonna pull some shit over you
have to tell us what the growl sounds like d going to have to tell us what the growl sounds like, Dylan.
Can you just tell us what the growl sounds like?
No, I'm not good at it.
That's not a good growl.
I see if I can find it.
I don't know if we still have the Gil Gronus.
I don't know what a Gil Gronus is.
It looks like a...
Vortex guy who growls.
That's going to yield zero.
I found it.
I found it.
No way.
I swear.
Vortex guy who growled randy put
it up on the screen if you find the growl guy should we start growling more you've been barking
in public a lot lately well there's a lot of beautiful women want me to play this hopefully
he's gonna growl he better growl uh there's music to this one could add to the ground
he did the thing
what is the thing
I don't know
show me pantomime it
I'll just show you
I'll turn the music off
and I'll show you
dude this guy's frat
is that rusty
he spins it
and it just shoots it
right down his throat
look at that
oh that's sick
okay so the people at home
we don't have this video up
show them
without a bottle
what it is they can kind of see I was talking at home, we don't have this video up. Show them without a bottle what it is.
They can kind of see.
I was talking about this guy.
I don't know that guy.
He does the same thing.
This is a little more Randy-fied here.
This guy is sick.
He says, can't talk right now.
I'm making a mess.
Hey, Dylan, I'm sorry, but your guy is out and Randy's guy is officially in.
No, fuck that guy.
You want to turn on the USB volume?
Are you sure?
Have you vetted this?
I can't talk right now.
I'm making piss.
He does the Vortex too in a different way.
He's making piss, he says.
He's just glugging.
Randy, that video stunk.
Randy, that was just water.
Yeah.
Randy, that video was all screenshot.
That was a waste of our time.
This is like clicking on a TFM article and being like, damn, that was all headlined.
He has multiple ones.
The one he does the Vortex too vortex how many views does that have that one has
6.4 million tell me it sucks again dylan 6.4 million that video sucks like it sucks he didn't
get 388 000 people how many subs how many subs um 5.78 but i don't think that's the actual guy.
All right, cool.
Are you guys worried about TFM?
They haven't published anything in four months.
Dude, Ross and Dylan are going to be pissed when they find out we haven't published anything.
Four months?
Four months, dude.
Dude, it's really going down the road.
The last thing that they published
was the MLB playoff format is fine.
Electric.
Electric headline.
That's good content. Reminds me of the time the Rangers won the World Series is fine. Electric. Electric headline. That's good content.
Reminds me of the time the Rangers won the World Series.
There you go.
Texas Rangers.
Damn.
Cool.
Are they still posting on their socials?
Yeah.
Okay.
They're still putting Grom's up.
It's a social play now.
They're in the 100,000s on Grom again
after getting the account suspended.
That's impressive.
I guess.
They have got
the brand equity built up. They can get
more followers. They got a little eck in that brand.
Still frat.
I kind of wish you were running it still.
Who's running it? Some frat stars, dude.
Some frat stars?
Yeah, dude.
I think it's Deke at Ole Miss. Are they frat? yeah yeah no i think it's deke at ole miss are they frat i don't know
no dude dekes they're fucking lower tier i think they got kicked off total frat i don't know
getting kicked off always sounds way cooler to me than being like a part of like the
the actual like network of fraternities i feel like the guys that get kicked off have
license or whatever they want after that i hate people do this agree old account deleted at 1.5 million like we used to be cool lame lame that's some lame-o shit i was considering not
following and then i saw that you used to have many more followers you guys used to have a nice
interesting is there any part of you that's annoyed that they lost the old account
uh no i thought that was gonna be your answer i didn't think you'd actually care yeah i
do not care i don't they don't have any uh any real estate in my brain if somebody lost the pgp
account i'd be annoyed just because it was a grind yeah worked our little dicks off to get that up
now they just not work it reminds me of when we almost lost the stamps.com account
because Dylan wouldn't get a tramp stamp.
PGP has more followers on Instagram than TFM does.
Wow.
That was the dream.
Yep.
Dave and I always said we were going to take down TFM.
Secretly.
We were plotting.
They haven't posted since September, however.
From the Instagram?
Yeah.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Oh, that's depressing.
They're probably gaining followers quickly.
Not posting.
Maybe.
Oh, man.
Good stuff.
Dave, click Lisa Ann on your trending tab.
All righty.
I still don't really know who she is.
We're on Twitter.
Yeah, sure you are.
Yeah, okay.
Okay.
Okay.
I think it's time to call it.
Tomorrow, exactly five minutes beyond the paywall.
We'll see you there.
Bye.
Bye.
